[Bm]
I was a [A] highwayman, on the [G] coach road I did [Bm] ride, [F#m] [A]
with sword [G] and pistol by [A] my side.
[E] Many [Bm] a maiden lost [A] her fobbles to [G] my trade, [Em]
[Bm] many a soldier [A] spent his life blood on [G] my blade.
[Bm] Them [A] bastards hung me [D] in the spring of twenty-five, [G] but I am [A] still alive.
I [Bm]
[A] was a sailor, [G] I was born [Bm] upon the tide, [A]
[G] with the sea I [A] did abide.
[E] I [Bm] sailed a schooner [A] round the horn in New [G] Mexico, [E]
I [B] went aloft and [A] furled a mainsail [G] in a blow.
[Bm] And [A] when the yards broke [G] off they said that [D] I got killed, [G] but I am [A] living still.
I [A] [B]
was a dam [A] builder, [G] across the river [B] deep and wide, [A]
where [G] steel and water [A] did collide.
[B] I placed a boulder [A] on the wild [G] Colorado, [E]
I [B] slipped and fell [A] into the wet [D] concrete below.
[B] They [A] buried me in [D] that great dune that knows no sound, [G] but I am [A] still around.
[B]
[E] I'll always [D] be around, [A] and around, [Bm] and around, [A] and around, [G] and around, [D] and around.
[Em]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
[D] Thomas Gabriel.
[B] I [E] fly a starship, [G] across the [B] universe to fly,
[A] and [G] when I reach the [A] other side,
[E] I'll [B] find a place to [A] rest my spirit [G] if I can.
Perhaps I may [A] become a [D] highwayman again, [A] [B]
or [A] I may simply be a single [D] drop of rain,
[G] but I [A] will remain, and I'll be [D] back again, [C#] and again, [Bm] and again, [A] and again, [G] and again.
[D] [E] [G] [D]
